We live in an age where technology is king. As it pertains to health, fitness and wellness most questions you need answered, you can look up on the Internet, follow a blog or join a web group or something of the like. The problem with all of this easy access to information is knowing how to find the right information that is the best fit for you.
Today I want to talk about fitness gadgets. In addition to your time in the gym, it is helpful for overall health to track your activity through the other 15 hours of your day. There are many products that do this. With so many out there it's hard to know which strap, pedometer, monitor, bug or device is the most accurate, user friendly and cost efficient. So I've done research for you, and this is what I've found.
According to Consumer Reports:
An award winning, accurate, user friendly and reasonably priced pedometer would be the Yamax Digi-Walker CW-701. It is small, light weight and durable and clips on to your pants at the waistline. The Digi-Walker tracks your steps taken, distance traveled, and calories burned. It also has a clock and a two week memory. All for under $45.00.
If you want to know everything you've ever wondered about yourself, the Fitbit might be your best option. With features such as step counter, calorie tracker, calorie intake log, sleep efficiency monitor, and real time results provided to you throughout your day, what more could you ask for? If you're willing to spend at least $100 then the Fitbit may be right for you.
Lastly and my personal favorite of the three is for you parents who have trouble getting your younger kids to be active. The Geopalz Pedometer tracks moderate to vigorous activities and will reward kids for their hard work with prizes and time in the Geopalz online arcade. With fun designs and animals that clip onto the waistline or shoe, they're a great and inexpensive way to get sedentary kids up and moving for under $30.
